STOCKS-The stock market to-day had
little of the vim and go of the frst part Of
the week, but was dull, though firm,
without important movements in prices,
except in few specialties. There was
some strength shown by Richmond &
West Point upon rumOrs OF negotiations
by the company looking To the absorption
OF other properties in the South. Wheel
ing 4 Lake Erie and Mexican Gen.
trail were also prominent for strength.
The opening was firm and strong, though
the improvement was not fully maintained
in the early trading, bnt the market rallied
and fractional advances were established.
There was no special feature of importance,
but the list remained firm, but after !
O'Clock it became dull. The weakness in
Pacific Mail and Fl Worth and Denver
had a temporary effect, but the list again
became firm, and closed steady and quiet,
with changes only from the opening fig-
ures. Sales 22s,1l3 shares Quotations

Senator Price good to have been present.

all the Democratic members of the Legis-
lature respecting the time hOnOred usages

against which Senator Price could take Of

ment. worked at place where butter
was made from the milk of four cows.
The milk was set in pans in one corner,
piled on the floor, one above the other.
The stove was at one side of the pans,
and at the other a place was made for
old boots and shoes. One pair of rubbers
was particularly offensive. They were
placed with the others at times, and
whenever this was done the odor was
plainly perceptible in the butter. This
was not pleasant experiment, but it was
remarkably forcible. There are hun
dreds of kitchens where butter is made
under such circumstances. Does any
one wonder that there is poor sale for it

The great winter resorts of Europe for
those in search of mild weather are to be
found in the south of France and Italy,
including Sicily. The principal places
where good hotels, cozy villas and the
comforts of life are to be found are Biar-
ritz and Pau (the first on the seacoast,
the second in the Pyrenees), Hyeres,
Cannes, Nice and Mentone, in France,
and San Reno, in Italy, all on the Medi-
terranean between Marseilles and Genoa.
AT these places good comfortable quarters,
good society, good shops and able ply
sicians may be found, with many more
diversions and pleasures than can be had
at the winter resorts in our own country.
For persons in health and for those in
delicate health without any settled lung
or throat trouble, for such as desire or
require an open air life in mild winter
climate, they all offer attractions and
comforts greater as a whole than any
have ever found elsewhere; but, like all
climatic resorts, they have their objec-
tionable features when presented for the
abode of consumptives, which should
neither be unknown nor forgotten. Will

SCAB ON POTATOES,

S. W. Ferel of Oconto, Wis, claims
that scab on potatoes is not caused by any
fungus, but by the ammonia of strong
manure of any kind, hen manure being
worst, and next to that unrolled COW or
horse manure. We could hardly agree
with this opinion of the use of horse
manure. We have always had good sue
cess with the use of horse manure, and
prefer it to most other kinds. There is
little denial, however, but that the use
of fresh COW manure is poorly calculated
to secure satisfactory crop, for the rea-
son, among other things, that it tends to
cause decay of the tubers. So far as hen
manure is concerned, we have used it,
but never had occasion to attribute any
special degree of scabbiness to its use.
If there be one thing that will induce it
more than another it is planting the sec
ond time upon the same ground. Ashes
are highly recommended for potatoes,
but in all our practice we have never
discovered any evidence of their super

A short time since man was taken to
one of the hospitals suffering intense
pain. He informed the doctors that his
home was down in the country, and that
if he should die he wished to be sent
there. The physicians asked him what
he supposed caused the pain. "Why, l
swallowed my plate and four false teeth
while asleep the other night" was the
answer. The patient was put upon
liquid food and all the examinations
made by the medicos failed to locate the
swallowed article. The man S sufferings
were lessened considerably and as a test
it was decided to give him a little piece
of beefsteak. This was done and the
poor patient was writing in agony as
soon as he had swallowed a mouthful
"Oh. my Cod" he exclaimed, this is
killing me! l know shall de- and nu-
merous other such speeches.
The physicians and nurses could hardly
keep him in bed he suffered so much.
Again he broke forth in explanations.
This time he said: "Oh. how l suffer!
l can feel the teeth tearing my stomach
apart. Oh" he did not finish until a
nurse opened telegram from his wife,
1t read: Found teeth under bed" The
suffering man, who had swallowed those
teeth, got up and dressed, paid his bill
and left the hospital without a word.
This is only an illustration of what imag-
nation will do.-Butfalo Express.

were clearly of the Asiatic family, but
different from the Shanghies, Chittagongs
and Cochin Chinas, with which he was
familiar. So he bought them and took
them home. His business, however, in
terfered with his bringing them before
the public, so he parted with them to Mr..
Virgil Cornish, then of Hartford, subse-
quently of New Britain, who propagated
them successfully until he had a fine
stock. They were not brought out until
1852 at a great poultry show in Boston,
where they received the name Brahmd
P0otrd, because they had come from
port near the mouth of river of that
name. They were highly appreciated at
once, on account of their great beauty,
fine form and large size. They helped
greatly to boom the so-called chen fever"
which had been prevalent, and was be-
ginning to flag. One of their distinguish
ing peculiarities is the triple comb
central comb rather low set. and small
comb on each side of it, and becoming
one with it above the base. Somewhat
similar combs had been noticed OCCASION
ally in other breeds of Asiatic fowls, and
the Maylays had clumsy, irregular
triple comb, which had been called IA pea
comb" for what reason it is rather hard
to tell. The Brahmas all possess the
comb described in small and beautiful
form, almost without exception, and this
is called pea comb from its triple form.
They exhibited from the very first that
peculiar thoroughbred look which marks
